Brian Barde I need a rod!! Lol

I took a local high school angler that reached out to me to a local lake to help him prep for his regional tournament. Showed him a few "secret" things to make his trip memorable. The next generation helping the next generation.

Brooks asked me 67 times if he could be in the tournament next year. He caught this bass at the launch last week.

Also I ran over my phone yesterday morning. So I have some pictures I took but lost others that didn’t make it to my cloud. 🥴

This tournament was a difficult one to swallow but it was also an amazing chance to learn and grow being that I considered Russell my home lake. But at the same time I couldn’t be more content I had a great time on the water with my buddy Barrett, learned a lot, and got to hang out with a bunch of great people from the SUF school. I’m excited to apply what I learned and take on the next tournament!

I’m just getting settled back in at home after the retreat!!! I hope all you guys will share your photos from the event. If you post on social can you tag me this week so I can share them too? We have a lot to talk about and discuss. I’m glad to have spent time with all of you. This has been my favorite experience in the app so far!

Breaking in the custom made Barde Rod at Lake Russell during the retreat. First fish was a 17 1/2 spotted bass. Not bad, Thanks Barde.

Great SUF Retreat! Thanks Brian Latimer
